Yesterday, employees of the French customs announced that they had seized nine dinosaur teeth last month from a truck that was crossing the country from Spain to Italy. The customs officer Samanta Verduro stated that the teeth, possibly from Morocco, were discovered during a routine inspection on a highway not far from the Italian border. "It is known that inspectors find parts of fossils or even cocaine in trucks heading from Spain to Italy, using police dogs and random inspections of several shipments," she added.
However, employees from the French border region of Menton found nine teeth in two packages addressed not far from the Italian towns of Genoa and Milan, according to the French customs.
